London Mayor and Sports Minister Backing World Squash Day by Alan Thatcher August 31, 2015 - Sports Minister Tracey Crouch and Mayor of London Boris Johnson are supporting World Squash Day.
Both visited The Mote Sports Club in Maidstone on Sunday while Boris
was playing cricket for the House of Commons and Lords XI against
celebrity side Lashings.
After top-scoring with 27 not out for the Westminster team, Boris
happily posed with a sign supporting World Squash Day, which takes
place on Saturday October 10th.
He said: “I love playing squash and Unicef is such a good cause. I hope it will be a very successful day.”
Sports Minister Tracey Crouch, the MP for Chatham and Aylesford, popped
into The Mote Squash Club to look at their impressive development
plans, which include an all-glass showcourt.
She told Mote member Alan Thatcher, founder of World Squash Day: “I
love all sports and used to play squash many years ago. World Squash
Day looks to be a superb project.”
The Mote will be holding a 24-hour squash and racketball marathon which
will involve fun sessions on court for juniors, women and school
groups.
